Environment America is hiring summer field organizers to help us fight global warming!
2017 was one of the hottest years ever recorded. More than four in 10 people in the United States live in counties that have unhealthful levels air pollution. At a time when we need to be moving forward to protect our health and climate, President Trump and the Congress are moving backwards – dismantling dozens of important environmental protections.
This summer, Environment America will be building public support in important states across the country to defend against attacks on our air and climate and support clean energy. We’ll organize to guard against rollbacks to the Clean Air Act, clean car standards, and the Environmental Protection Agency while promoting clean energy solutions.
That’s where you come in. Environment America’s summer field organizers will work to generate media attention, mobilize hundreds of citizens across their states, and build diverse coalitions of organizations and opinion leaders to push for action. Our field organizers will also spend two weeks working with our citizen outreach offices to recruit new members and raise money through canvassing to support our campaigns.
Summer field organizing is an incredible opportunity for both experienced and brand new organizers who want to gain skills in environmental activism and organizing. We offer an excellent training program and work to place our organizers with organizations working for change after the summer campaign.
